Divisional Throwball Playoffs: Sunday

2011 Throwball Playoffs

Once again I find myself more interested in the late rather than the early game, but I’ll try to work up some outrage for you anyway.

The early game starts on FOX at 1 pm according to all reputable sources and not the dumbass commentators who’s major qualification for their job is that they’re not quite brain damaged enough to be unable to read from a teleprompter.  In fairness they were probably shilling their pre-game program as well they might because who watches that boring crap anyway?

My mild favorite is the Seahawks who have the good fortune not to be the second most bitter rival of my second favorite team (second favorite team == Packers, most bitter rivals == Vikings).  What’s to like about da Bears?  They’re one of 2 original NFL franchises and they still play outside at Soldier Field.  Also I think they’re an easier opponent for the Pack if it should come to that.

The late game is at 4:30 pm on CBS and pits the loathsome Patsies against the only slightly less loathsome Jets.  What’s so loathsome about the Jets?  Outside of the rampant clubhouse misogyny and their status as one of the most Republican teams in the league (and in the NFL that’s saying a lot), they’re also freeloading squatters in Giants Stadium.  Buncha deadbeat Galts they are.

But the Patsies (look for ‘Gillette Stadium’) are even worse.  Their Hartford Hijack is unforgivable, or at least I’m not ready to make nice.

While it would be good to have the Jets kick their ass, it’s probably not possible so I’ll have to look forward to the Steelers kicking it in the Conference Championships next week or a repeat of Super Bowl XXXI.

The usual nonsense below the fold.

  1. 28 – 3 and 1:53 left in the quarter!

  3. Check your pool cards.

  6. Ball on the Bears 33.  13 to play.

  7. Jets-Pats game.  This game is cooked.  Stick a fork in it.

    Oh, and can we have the beer now?  

  9. Told you they were making a comeback.

    Time for the onside kick!

  10. I’ll try and remember that bit of trivia.

  11. were the college basketball team I usually root for, there still would be plenty of time for them to find a way lose.

    touchdown Bears. Goodnight Seahawks.

  12. This is done.

  13. Seahawk touchdown

    3 minutes to play.

  17. 35 – 24 Bears.

  18. should have started to play like this in the first half

  27. They start at the Patsies 12.

  28. 30 yard attempt no good.





  31. Talk to the hand.

  32. Only a Field Goal.

    3 – 0 Patsies.

  33. Jets on the move at mid field.

  34. Patsies start at their 20.

  39. Did you see that ‘Bears are godless killers’ McDonald’s commercial?

  42. You only have to live blog the one game.

    1. All those bubbles.  They have heaters at their feet.

  45. really cute. No riding the dog. That would depend on the size of the dog

  46. The Bears and Packers have played 181 games in their storied rivalry. But next week’s NFC Championship Game will be just the second postseason game in the history of the series.

    And that means the Bears, who defeated the Seahawks 35-24 to secure a home game at Soldier Field, and Packers, who topped the Eagles 21-16 and downed the Falcons 48-21 to reach the game, will be meeting in a playoff game for the first time in 70 years with a Super Bowl berth on the line.

  48. Check your pool cards.

  49. Still 14 – 7 Jets.
